If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp?

I'm purposefully not specifying speakers as I would like to know in general terms the arguments for and against. So, to the degree that speaker characteristics could also influence the choice, please  explain.  FWIW, I do not know a phase angle from an impedance curve so I will try and educate myself as we go along.  Hopefully, others may benefit too.

Atmasphere, Care to hazard a guess as to whether what you witnessed was genuine and things fell where the would, or perhaps, it was just a dog and pony show, with all actors having already planned their respective exits, were encouraged to do so with a last shot at audio journalism?

Atmasphere, this account of a reviewer extorting a manufacturer is disturbing. Was this an established reviewer? Was the reviewer aware of your witness? If so, was the reviewer so arrogant not to care?

Atmasphere, I'm not so naïve to think that that type of behavior hasn't been considered before or even after, but as my Jewish friends might exclaim; "What hutzpah!".

^Keep an eye on the output voltage and the input sensitivity as well.
